There were only two times in my life when I've actually felt down about things and gotten myself into a full mental mess. One of the times was in 1982.

I have never liked Morrissey, and I still don't. I think it's hilarious, actually, what things I've heard about him, what he's really like, and his public persona is so different. He's such an actor.

I think, at heart, unless you discover faith in something else, something other, it's very hard to shake the thing that you're adrift alone.
